We offer a market leading commission level and you will receive up to 65% of the total commission received from your holiday booking.
Unlike most other Homeworking travel companies, we pay Instant commission, so for all your bookings you will be paid 80% of the total commission in the following month. We will hold back 20% of the commission which will be used for cancellations and changes to bookings and will be paid at the end of each financial year i.e 31st March. This in turn can be used towards any tax payments which you may be required to make.
